Someone has been so kind as to share W.E.B. DuBois's speech for a socialist audience in Madison, WI. Speaking on African-Americans and socialism, this speech provides an interesting example of the last shift of DuBois's life, a shift to socialism and Pan-Africanism. In addition to this fascinating talk from 1960, one can find the 'audio autobiography' recordings of DuBois explaining the story of his life to Moses Asch, available on Youtube. Once you realize how long he lived and how influential he was in US intellectual history, his life story becomes even more impressive.
